In this study, we report a case of aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) of the thigh in a 43-year-old female patient. Ultrasonography revealed a 6.1×3.7×5.3 cm solid mass in the right thigh with well-demarcated borders and a heterogeneous echotexture. Color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) revealed weak blood flow in the mass with peripheral and central avascularity. Computed tomography (CT) of the thigh revealed a homogeneous low-density mass under the spatium intermusculare of the quadriceps femoris. The mass was diagnosed as AAM by histopathological examination following complete excision around the adventitia of the tumor. At 18 months follow-up, there was no recurrence. In conclusion, this case is noteworthy as it involves AAM of the thigh, which is a rare tumor.
在本研究中，我们报告了一例43岁女性患者大腿部侵袭性血管黏液瘤（AAM）的病例。超声检查显示右大腿有一个6.1×3.7×5.3 cm的实性肿块，边界清晰，回声不均匀。彩色多普勒超声（CDUS）显示肿块内血流微弱，周边及中心无血管。大腿计算机断层扫描（CT）显示股四头肌肌间隙下有一个均匀低密度肿块。在肿瘤外膜周围完整切除后，通过组织病理学检查将肿块诊断为AAM。随访18个月，无复发。总之，该病例值得关注，因为它涉及大腿部的AAM，这是一种罕见肿瘤。
